Laff-a-Lympics

Laff-a-Lympics was the co-headlining segment, with Scooby-Doo, of the package Saturday morning cartoon series Scooby's All-Star Laff-a-Lympics, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The show was a spoof of the Olympics and the ABC television series Battle of the Network Stars. It featured 45 Hanna-Barbera characters organized into three teams, The Scooby Doobies, The Yogi Yahooies, and The Really Rottens, which would compete each week for gold, silver, and bronze medals. One season was produced in 1977 - 1978, which was rerun for the 1978 - 1979 season of Scooby's All Stars.
